The first thing that surprises you about the Rubicon Trail is the fact that, during the weekend it is like a main highway, with a simply staggering amount of traffic going in both directions. These are without exception highly modified beasts and they range from beaten, rusting hulks on massively hiked suspension through to completely […]

Sweet Jesus, Cletus, for people who consume so much coffee, they really do struggle to make a halfway decent cup of the stuff in America. Quantity is no problem, but quality is a rare commodity in the US of A. While requesting “a bucket of your finest coffee-flavoured swill” may not seem like the […]
So here it is; the full Rubicon Trail saga! Split into four easily-digested parts, you can check them out here: Day One Day Two (part 1) Day Two (part 2) Day Three Or you can be lazy and just watch the video highlights…
The first day of our great off-road adventure was almost the exact opposite of what you would think of when you tell people you are heading into the wilds of the Sierra Nevada in Jeeps to traverse the most legendary off-road track of them all. There was no dust, no rocks, no bears. The sounds […]
Take one already exceptionally good car and throw a whole lot of extras at it for surprisingly little money and you should sell a bunch more of them. At least, that seems to be how it works for BMW these days. And who is going to argue with them, because in addition to a very […]
As happens quite often these days, following the range-topping (and more expensive) sporty A250, the absolute pick of the new A-Class range is the humble diesel variant; the A200 CDI. Why?

It’s a new Commodore, but is the world interested in any way? Well, the sales figures suggest that at least a few are, but nowhere near as many as there used to be. That is a shame because the VF is undoubtedly the best car that has ever come out of Australia. Packed with cutting […]
With the new Accord Honda has taken the best parts of both previous Accords – the Accord V6’s plush ride and the Accord Euro’s sharp handling – and combined them to make a thoroughly convincing package. It has its flaws, but the new Accord truly is one of the most impressive cars to come from […]
While the Citroen C4 Aircross is probably the most overlooked of the Mitsubishi ASX-based triplets – along with the Peugeot 4008 and the ASX itself – it is almost certainly the best looking of the three. Looks ARE subjective, but we here at OVERSTEER rather like the C4 Aircross for its distinct twist of Citroen-quirk […]
This is a proper sports car. Small, RWD, razor sharp and not encumbered by the stretch to pack too much power into its delicately perfect package, the Subaru BRZ (and its Toyota 86 twin) represent a purity of concept that is exceedingly rare these day. It is a car that has a single purpose in […]
